Somali Surbiyaan

A favourite meal of spicerer Faduma (whose mum gave us the recipe!), surbiyaan is the Somali version of a biryani.

It’s an aromatic and satisfying dish typically served at special occasions like weddings - for a festive touch, top with crispy fried onions or toasted flaked almonds.
